IMPROVEMENT l N TINNERS FIRE-POTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 63,991, dated April 23,1867.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that 1, JAMES B. GARY, of

Millersburg, in the county of Iowa and State of Iowa, have invented anImprovement in Soldering-Pots; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full and exact description thereof, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon.

The nature of my invention consists in inserting three or more metaltubes in the front of the soldering-pot the size of the solderingiron,which are made tapering. The coal and fire are on the outside of saidtubes, and irons are placed in the tubes for heating, instead ofdirectly in the fire, which will keep said irons clean and prevent thetin from being burned off from the copper. There is also a grate with anash-pit at the bottom. There are dampers, one in the pipe at the top andone under the soldering-iron tubes at the bottom.

Figure l is an elevation of my invention; Fig. 2, a cross-section 5 Fig.3, a longitudinal section; Fig. 4, a plan of grate; Fig. 5, a h0rizontalsection at A; Fig. 6, a plan of the top.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts in the saidfigures.

a. in the said figures is themcase; b, attitpit or bottom, s ecured-tothe case a with lugs c. d is the grate, held up with legs 6. f f "arethe soldering-iron tubes or heaters, with small holes in the under side,as shown at j. g is a damper below soldering-iron tubes. h is the top;i, the smokeflue', with damper k. The top is hinged to case a at theback, as

shown at l. m m are iron-holders, to be used in tl-aking the pots out ofthe shop. a is the bai The ordinary size of the pot is sixteen (16)inches deep, and eight (8) inches in diameter. The ash-pit below grateis two.(2) inches deep. The soldering tubes or heaters are made ofcast-iron, five (5) inches long, made one and one-fourth (1;}) inch in.diameter at the front I end, and tapering back to one (1) inch at theback. All are attached together and secured to case a with catches 0, soas to be removed at pleasure. Slide over damper-hole g is four (4)inches long by one and one-fourth (1%) inch Wide. v The holes are one(1) inch in diameter.

By the use of the two dampers there is a very great saving of coal, andby the application of the grate the ashes will be disposed of morereadily, which will cause the fire to burn more briskly, and thus get amore intense heat when required. I

There is a very great advantage in the use fication.
